I never wanted to be born. Especially not in this world. My name is Darius Isaiah C. Karmicheal, or Dick for short. The world I live in is overrun by zombies. And as a kid, I saw my parents get eat by those pest. Not only did I suffer mental by such incident, I was almost overwhelmed by them. Luckily some C fighters acted and saved my life. I was only 5 at the time.
Coincidentally or not my birth was the same day as the beginning of humanities end. On March 21 2023, our planet was hit by a meteor storm. Unknowingly the meteors carried the z strand . For most of the population the z strand turned them into blood crazed monster that feasted on the living. For others it enhanced their body beyond the human limit giving them unimaginable strength and speed, we dubbed them fighters. Each fighter has a rank A-F . F being mostly everyone effected by the z strand. As you go up in rank , the stronger you become. Fighters above the A rank are fighter that surpassed the limit of fighters. They are known as warriors. They rank A-F as well. Beyond the warrior rank , is the knights then the kings. The kings have unbelievable strength. Kingdoms that have a king figure all have no worries and they live better than the rest of the world.
My parents lived in wealthy neighborhood, and were considered in a high social standing. But that all went to shit when the meteor hit. They was forced to flee and abandon their wealth, when waves of zombies threatened to overwhelm them. They fled to a town ran by a B ranked fighter. It was safe considering, she was strong enough to fight off hordes of zombies, but it wasn't enough.
She wanted to migrate to C warriors town and everyone believed in her.
But unknowingly we were lead astray , she abandoned her town in the midst of migrating because we were ambushed by zombies. Zombies also have ranks . Simpletons , elite, special and finally kings. Simpletons are weak and mindless, they follow orders from elite and kings though. Special zombies are the things to worry about . They have special powers. King zombies can match a human king although they are a bit weaker.
I thought it was strange that I was the only kid in our town but then I realized how sick our B fighter was. She was selling off the kids to a neighboring town who's B fighter who had sick tendencies. I was the last child but with the news of a incoming horde my death by a sicko was put off.
I watched them eat my parents as the C fighter held me and ran away. Tears streamed down my eyes as I watched. I fell asleep while being carried. When I eventually woke up , we was at the gates of the C Warriors town. A huge 3 story wall surrounded the town. The C fighter set me down as we were cleared to enter. He turns to me and unemotionally said
"You're on your own kid"
Afterwards he simply left. I look around. I was in the slums apparently. Noticing the was another wall towards the center. It hold the more important people of the town.
"Welp this sucks"
